Is that revenue purely from this single tracker?

They also have the Intel comp link on the home page.... I know those estimator sites are never 100% accurate.

 

Anyone got an idea of how much the forum would cost to host?

Collocation is expensive. We use a lot of bandwith. That is all I'll say.

Just to note, none of this information is going to be useful to anybody that doesn't actually understand what it means. Worth of a website/youtube is actually extremely complex and varies drastically based on the type of content and the target audience of the site/channel.

 

You can have two website that get 1000 unique visits a day. One site can be a Bieber fansite where everybody visiting the site are 13 year old girls that. The other site could be a car enthusiast blog where a majority of the readers are 40+ years old that make $250k+ a year. Say a BMW ad runs on that car blog, that should hypothetically get a higher CPM or CPC than a some Forever 21 ad on the Bieber fansite. If somebody running a website also knows and is good at advertising they can often get higher cpm and cpc ads by simply being good at managing them regardless of the content and their audience.

 

And you also need to realize that a site's "worth" is often very very different than how much money they actually make. A lot of websites are "worth" a lot of money but don't make money. Reddit is theoretically worth a bunch of money but they basically have no revenue model at this point. You also can't limit your scope to just looking at uniques and page views per day. There is twitter, facebook likes, youtube subscribers, tumblr followers, twitch.tv viewers, etc. etc. Basically, a simple calculator like worthofweb.com isn't going to be very good at making any sort of accurate calculations for most websites.

 

And in the case of LinusTech, it is even more unreliable. It has a very brief period of time of data to pull information from. The longer a site has been around, the more data is available, the more accurate an estimate might be. There is also the issue that the main website is a forum so the kind of traffic it gets is very very different than something like a blog or a youtube channel is going to get.

 

tl;dr: The estimate worth of LTT according to an online automated calculator is basically meaningless.

These type of youtube channel financial worth trackers (such as socialblade) would be especially inaccurate for LTT due to the unusual way he implements ads. Instead of at the beginning of every video where they can be removed with adblock. Linus's ads are in the video, and cant be removed with adblock or the "skip ad" button.

And yes i know you can skip forward in the video. But this would be far less common than adblock or using the skip button. Linus's way of implementing ads is very clever.
